That ‘ungodly’ fruit

(1/4) > >>

lareli:
Had an email exchange with an old church friend of mine who now pastors a church. I was bringing up some basic questions about Christian doctrine and in the course of one of his replies to me he said something like “if Adam hadn’t eaten of that ungodly fruit..”

The fruit of the tree of knowledge of good and evil. They think it’s ungodly.

You guys have any thoughts on that?

Interesting... when I was in the Church I never heard the fruit or the tree itself was ungodly. The statement your friend made...if only they hadn't eaten of the ungodly fruit, brings to mind the many times I had that same thought.

How could they do that, they had everything, and because of their selfish disobedience, people all over the world have had to suffer and die. To me it was the worst sin, the biggining  of sin and resposible for all sin to follow. The tree represented the very source of it. Pure sin...pure Evil...Ungodly?

"Naked and ignorant in the garden" is un-godly.  That's for babies.  Nothing wrong with babies, as long as they are babies.

It’s as if people believe that the fruit of the tree is still forbidden. Afraid to use their own reasoning.

Friend Largeli

Well, aren't we supposed to use God's reasoning rather than our own to guide our lives?
Seems to me that there was an admonition against each man doing what seemed right in their own eyes?

Judges 17:6  In those days there was no king in Israel, but every man did that which was right in his own eyes.
Proverbs 14:12  There is a way which seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death.
